This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me
And I won't lie down roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled
And all the magic would have died
It's easy it's easy
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions
When he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him
When the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
It's easy it's easy
Until I think about him as he was
When I last touched him
And how he would have been
Were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up
They keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy it's easy as life
And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward
The faithful through the ages
Forcing us to prove that the hardest things we've done
Are easy so easy
And though I'll think about him
Until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for
Another kind of love
This is no denial no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes
And in the pantheon above
It's easy it's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
